When Combatives Developer and Edged Weapons Designer C. Despins was approached a member of a Highly Elite Unit, who lamented the feasibility of utilizing a Karambit style knife in a REAL theater of combat, Despins took note, in fact, he took several pages.

This Operators unit was tasked with packing light and moving fast. Operating conditions ranged from sweltering heat to the freezing cold. Environments from hot and wet to cold and wet. It was also noted that the Operator wore gloves of every variety. Retention was a KEY factor, and if it could, serve both a combat knife and a field knife, this would be most ideal. Oh, and one more thing… “could you make it look, classy?”

It seemed a tall order to fill, but Despins was undaunted. It was obvious that the perimeters of the design would take the Max Venom Product Group into uncharted territory. The Tac-Ops Karambit looked good on paper, then as an AutoCAD design, but in the hand it was evident that that Max Venom had developed a truly live blade Karambit of unparalleled proportions!

The Tac-TOPS Karambit can be readily gripped on the draw, forward or reverse, with or without indexing a finger into the finger loop.

The oversized finger loop of the Tac-TOPS allows for the operator to utilize the Tac-ops with even heavily gloved hands.

The finger loop features a devastating prominent skull crushing pommel.
